Friday likely will draw many anglers away from the water today, and for
those who are able to dodge the malls, flounder are out there in good
numbers just waiting for you.
No
reports have been received from Thursday and that is not surprising
with the early press time for the Reel Report. Wednesday, however, there
was a lot of action around Flounder Alley as I have nicknamed the
Galveston Channel during November.
First
let me give my report from a late morning trip to the Cedars and the
Yacht Basin Flats. It did not take long to catch our four fish and this
time we held off on the last fish until a saddle blanket was caught.
Surprising
to me was the number of undersized flounder being landed by anglers all
around us. In fact Polly caught her smallest flatfish ever, one that
could not have measured over 8 inches in length.
Obviously flounder are
not cannibalistic or that little fellow would have been devoured by the
huge number of fish around the piers and pilings.
Number
four to complete our catch was a 23-inch saddle blanket caught in front
of the cedars in 12 feet of water just before noon.
Another
surprise was that no other fish were caught. Normally that would not be
an issue; however, we were planning on bringing back a bunch of sand
trout for the smoker. All other trips this month the sandies were
aggressively taking our baits.
Incidentally, they make excellent smoked fish logs!
Lori,
the Saltwater Hooker, was in the area with guests from Bayou Vista,
Michelle, Neil and Toby. Their limits consisted of fish in the 15 to
21-inch range.
Gilbert
Santos fished the Galveston Causeway Tuesday night with no success and
moved into Offatts Bayou to fish a few lights. He finished the night
with four specs to 18” and a 22” red using Gulf shrimp for bait.
